Good news, approval of the tour Belinda wanted to take at the White House arrived today! It will be the day after her surgery. Since it is at 10 am, we should have plenty of time to do the tour, have lunch, and make it to our flight at 4 pm.

Our hotel is only six blocks from the White House, so depending on the weather and how Belinda feels, we might be able to just walk over.

I appreciate Senator Markwayne Mullin and his office staff for helping us get the tour set up. Last time Belinda visited with his staff and we were given a tour of the Capitol (although we cut it short because Belinda was hurting from surgery.) I originally chose to request our tours through Sen. Mullin because he and my grandma share their small-town ties to Stilwell, Oklahoma!
